    sweet we wasnt expecting the nistune to be able to display that sort of information and sounds awsome will keep my eyes peeled as i looking to do the 26 crank rods and pistons soonish will be good to see how yours goes

    you can configure the gauges display so it shows you what you want - there's a fair amount of configurability in there.

    I like nistune but it is limited a bit by the hardware, the software is much better than it used to be when I was using it on the CA.

    yeah i really like the idea of nistune it seems an affordable way to tune your car, ive seen some people running some good setups on them also, like the rb25det with a gt3076r which is my goal im aiming for whenever i get the money

    sorry alan one more question which knock sensor did you keep 123 or 456, as the z32 only allows one

    cheers mike

    I can't remember which I did - I definitely wired them in but I can't remember if I replaced it afterwards for a resistor. I think I did.

    If I were just using one, I'd do 456 - 6 runs hotter from internet truth.

    ok cheers dude im going to leave it how it is at the moment so it will be pin 23 which i believe is knock sensor on 123, what do you suggest is the best move for the future as ive been suggested to get sr20 or z32 knock sensors and use them but that means getting the knock sensor out the block getting special bolts made up and i really cant be arsed with fannying around like that especially as you cant get to them with the car on the floor, any advice

    cheers mike

    yeah, only way is to go from the bottom really, unless you're bloody flexible

    I'd just change the pins on the connector that goes into the main loom - it'd only take 20 mins to switch the pins around.

    ok cheers dude, but it will work ok with just the one knock sensor connected as ive heard with the new style knock sensors the rb has are over sensative and the nistune will switch knock maps and advance timing which is what my car is doing at the moment so im really worried ive spent all that dosh and its not got me any further ahead lol

    otherway around, switch maps and retard timing - I don't think you need to worry that much. you can alter the knock threshold in nistune anyway.

    if you've got a laptop connected when you're driving, you'll see it switch into the knock map, so you'll know.

    the sensors the RB uses are the same as the CA - the older ones. the Z32 & SR20 are the newer bosch donut type.

    ohhh ok where i was reading it said the rb ones are newer but again thanks for the information, i havent even got to that stage yet, we plugged in the z32 ecu and on nistune software absolutely nothing consult wouldnt connect to ecu to download the image, on the ignition no fuel pump either, we plugged the rb25 ecu in, and the fuel pump kicked in and nistune connected to it

    it should at least turn on the fuel pump even with the RB25 loom with no changes, how confident are you of the soldering job on the socket?

    do the lights on the Z32 ECU turn on?

    I managed to kill my spare Z32 ecu by damaging one of the tracks removing the original chip and the symptoms were rather similar.

    I was trying to be a hero and remove the chip intact - I should have snipped the legs off so I could do it one by one.

    yeah weve come to the conclusion that its the ecu it has to be, its just knowing whats wrong, whether it was a duff ecu in the first place or i dont know lol grr this is frustrating

    And weve got no way of checking what the fault codes are or resetting it

    stop the press, a bloody update!

    I've been doing a fair amount - attempting to get to an MOT, failing to get to the station due to overheating caused by a leaking stub pipe out of my chinese copy inlet manifold, fixing the flow reversion problems with the Z32 AFMs..

    here's the (almost) finished result. a brand new GReddy RB25DET plenum - completely genuine, sent from Japan. Two HKS SSQV valves recircing - this is to fix the flow reversion problems with the Z32 AFMs.

    the shortest length of pipe coming out of the turbos that would stop the column of air (and screwing up the AFM readings, so causing stalls etc, even at idle) reaching the AFMs was half a metre, which wasn't going to fit anywhere in the bay, so the SSQV recircs were put in.

    last problem I've figured out is that due to the brakes being stood for a fair amount of time, they're a little stiff/mildly seized - they still work but tend not to return properly. I've freed the rears up but it looks as though they'll all need rebuilding soon, so may document that.

    some wide angle lens fun first..





    here's the second filter lifted so you can get a better view of the 2nd SSQV.




    The blue silicone hose will be replaced shortly.

    eh, not sure if I'm slow or you're a massive car whore

    always difficult to problem solve with my mongrel setup. hopefully booking an MOT this week though
